I did not use a stabilizer, nor a hoop. Just be cognizant of the tension of your stitches.

Today we got up at 5 am, drove an hour and caught the sun rising at Folly Beach, SC
And all the way above the horizon
Ate breakfast at The Lost Dog. I had pineapple pancakes with strawberry coulée and whole strawberries, lots of banana slices and whipped cream on top. Then went back to the beach for a very long walk.
Came home and got the quilting done on this top I was given to do for our guild's charity causes
And a close up of another design from my ProStitcher
Enough for now,
I'm tired and going to head off to bed early tonight.

Whew! You have all been so busy! I was wondering why I hadn't heard from anyone and then realized I haven't posted on this new thread!
We had a lovely wedding weekend on the Washington coast. Lots of family, fun and love. Here's a picture of my grandson wearing my sunglasses. He's such a sweetie. This was his first time to see the ocean.
I have been waiting for Sybil to end her affair with Mr. Fix It. I need her back to embroider my new granddaughter's name on her quilt. The baby shower is in 3 weeks. :blink: Mr. Fix It says she needs a new L panel and it is back ordered from Bernina. Sigh.... So I have been working on little things, like a Paris mug rug for my daughter in law's birthday. I'll take a picture once I have whizzed around the outside!
Here is the quilt I am making for Victorina Rose. She is due in October.
Ritzy, I am sending good thoughts for your new grandsons. Dorothy I hope your shoulder is much better and you have a fun time in Europe.
I am so impressed with all the wonderful things everyone is working on. This is such a fun retreat! And we also get to have Lotti's wonderful photography and all the delicious candy! (with no calories.)
Off to go shopping with my daughter and grandson....
Take care,
genevaGeneva

Put up the link on my blog for dye washing out of fabrics
Www.letscreatetoday.blogspot.com
Geneva,
Love your pictures and quilt. But the best one is your Grandchild!! Adorable.
Dorothy,
Yes my machine can be programmed. That takes me plenty of time, but the results are so worthwhile. Now if I can just figure out how to never break a thread or run out of bobbin thread, I could get things quilted much faster.
I think I just need more chocolate!Geneva

The awards ceremony was just after lunchtime and I haven't heard anything from FoQ, so I am guessing that I haven't won anything
Just have to go and buy fabric for Terrie's mystery quilt and get some hugs in with Lorchan instead.
UPDATE! on some pictures form FoQ posted on facebook I saw my piece and it had a 'Highly Commended' note next to it :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: There was also a picture of the second place winner, and I don't mind being beaten by it, it is gorgeous in a Ritzy colourway.

I finished my goal of 3 red and white wall hangings this week, barely. I thought I'd have a few hours to spare but that water drip I'd been hearing finally showed up on the carpet. Time to turn the AC off and get the drain unclogged. My nephew came to the rescue and got it going again. At least it was late in the day and didn't have time to get too hot in my sewing room. Must have AC on these 100+ days.
The quilt on the right took the place of the New York Beauty. You really didn't think I was going to make one of those did you!!! Anyway I remembered finding this block in EQ and wanted to try it out. I didn't want all of those seams in the background and I didn't want to do any inset seams so I redrew the block to eliminate those. I did have some partial seam piecing to do but that goes pretty quickly.
Next week my goal is to make the last 2 quilts. The fabric is already chosen for the Double Wedding Ring. I still need to draw the templates, but may let EQ do that for me. I will be using my Sew-on-the-Line method for the hexagon quilt. I tried this a few years ago and got a few rows done. These have 1" sides so 2" sides should be quite easy in comparison. I am determined this time to have a finished hexie quilt. Back around 1980 I cut many hexagons for what was supposed to be a reversible grandmother's flower garden quilt and made a few blocks. I was making them like little pillows, fabric on both sides with batting in the middle, sewn leaving an opening then turned inside out. Then they had to be hand sewn together on both sides which took way more time than I had so I gave the pieces for the back of the quilt to my sister and the rest of the pieces are still waiting to be used. I haven't given up on them yet.
Our quilt guild is having their real retreat this weekend. I believe I'm getting more done at this virtual retreat, no packing and no travel time, etc.
